Pterelaus / Pterelaos
In Greek mythology, Pterelaus (Pterelaos) was king of the Thapians, who was the son of Poseidon. Poseidon had bestowed upon him a magic golden hair on his head which made him immortal and unconquerable so long as the hair grew on his head.
His daughter Comaetho fell in love with Amphitryon, and pulled out the golden hair of her fathers head, killing him. In retribution for her deeds, Amphitryon put Comaetho to death. Other stories explain that once Comaetho removed the golden hair of Pterelaos, she also died.
other Children of Pterelaus:
Chromius, Tyrannus, Antiochus, Chersidamas, Mestor, and Everes.
